RE: [SOT Rant] Non-hostile probes / opt-in/out

<rant> Digital Island is certainly not alone in their practice of assuming an opt-in stance.

I think you know that for an operation like Digital Island or Akamai, asking every network operator permission to probe is for all practical purposes, impossible. Insisting on opt-in is insisting on these companies going out of business, or not even starting up at all. - --- "The avalanche has already begun.
